An assessment of the level of technological development of the crop industry of the Russian Federation is provided in the paper. The necessity of technological development of crop production is determined by the need to ensure food security of the country. The importance of norms in the process of predicting technological development of crop production is described. To improve the management of the crop sector development at different levels of management, a system of norms and standards has been developed, the use of which in the process of forecasting would contribute to the acceleration of its technological development of the crop industry in market conditions. The system includes a set of scientific and methodological documents, containing a systematic list of material, technical, labor, and other norms and standards, characteristics of the norms and standards included in the list, organizational and methodological approaches to their creation and application. For active use and implementation of the developed System in production, as well as for the possibility of filling the System with specific standards in electronic form, a computer program “Snin-agro” was created. The use of the computer System and program contributes to the improvement of state regulation of the country’s economy, technological development of the industry, significantly increases the economic and social effect, and thus increase the level of food security of the country.
